<p>[QUOTE="seth77, post: 4068517, member: 56653"]I don't think it does. At least not by itself. It might if it's part of a longer invocation/formula but by itself is elliptic in a way that the regular SOLI INVICTO is not. Not to mention that the SOLI INVICTO form is, beyond its clear semantic and grammatical meaning, a canonical expression with a clear use dating back at least to the 2nd century if not earlier. Of course if this specific form is related to a certain Mithraic ritual that has since been lost (for instance), then it might have been recognized by the public (at least part of it, those familiar with Mithras), otherwise by itself, SOLE INVICTO as a stand-alone is a bit confusing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
